Disclosed is a duobinary optical transmission apparatus. The duobinary optical transmission apparatusenhances nonlinear and dispersion characteristics for an intermediate-long distance transmission at a high-speed transfer rate without the use an electric LPF. The duobinary optical transmission apparatus includes a light source for generating a carrier wave, a duobinary optical signal generator for receiving a Non Return to Zero (NRZ) signal and generating a modulated optical signal generated by modulating the carrier wave according to the NRZ signal, and a Return to Zero (RZ) signal generator for converting the NRZ signal into a RZ (Return to Zero) signal. Therefore, optical intensity and a phase are modulated using only a single interferometer-type optical modulator.
